# koa-ratelimit

[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url]
[![build status][travis-image]][travis-url]
[![node version][node-image]][node-url]

Rate limiter middleware for koa.

## Installation

```bash
# npm
$ npm install koa-ratelimit
# yarn
$ yarn add koa-ratelimit
```

## Example

### With a Redis driver

```js
const Koa = require('koa');
const ratelimit = require('koa-ratelimit');
const Redis = require('ioredis');
const app = new Koa();

// apply rate limit
app.use(ratelimit({
driver: 'redis',
db: new Redis(),
duration: 60000,
errorMessage: 'Sometimes You Just Have to Slow Down.',
id: (ctx) => ctx.ip,
headers: {
remaining: 'Rate-Limit-Remaining',
reset: 'Rate-Limit-Reset',
total: 'Rate-Limit-Total'
},
max: 100,
disableHeader: false,
whitelist: (ctx) => {
// some logic that returns a boolean
},
blacklist: (ctx) => {
// some logic that returns a boolean
}
}));

// response middleware
app.use(async (ctx) => {
ctx.body = 'Stuff!';
});

// run server
app.listen(
3000,
() => console.log('listening on port 3000')
);
```

### With a memory driver

```js
const Koa = require('koa');
const ratelimit = require('koa-ratelimit');
const app = new Koa();

// apply rate limit
const db = new Map();

app.use(ratelimit({
driver: 'memory',
db: db,
duration: 60000,
errorMessage: 'Sometimes You Just Have to Slow Down.',
id: (ctx) => ctx.ip,
headers: {
remaining: 'Rate-Limit-Remaining',
reset: 'Rate-Limit-Reset',
total: 'Rate-Limit-Total'
},
max: 100,
disableHeader: false,
whitelist: (ctx) => {
// some logic that returns a boolean
},
blacklist: (ctx) => {
// some logic that returns a boolean
}
}));

// response middleware
app.use(async (ctx) => {
ctx.body = 'Stuff!';
});

// run server
app.listen(
3000,
() => console.log('listening on port 3000')
);
```
